This is the one critical aspect of REI that is often not spoken about: business models and systems.

This is the single most important aspect of real estate investing.

Now as for the competitive aspects, quite clearly we must be very careful to not reveal any secrets.

Sure, some aspects of it are repetitious.

There is no way you should think that interior painting should cost this much whoever told you this ask them to explain why.Concerning other aspects of your rehab a good idea would be to look on sites such as craigslist, kudzu and others to look for qualified contractors you will find that most of these guys are just as good or better than the big boys but dont have the funds to advertise in the yellow pages.

This website has probably been the only enjoyable aspect of REI for me so far.Todd P.S.

I've been buying notes for a few years and I have yet to see one for a couple hundred so I hope you are referring to the training aspect.

well, you can try a few things... 1. rent a GOOD powerwasher from HD and try their chemicals (cleaning isle)2. 50% water, 50% pool cleaner3. buy from http://www.pressuretek.com/chemicals.html . i have used them before, but not their chemicals.4. look at the pressure cleaning forums for someone in your area or just on google.most important thing is that you need to use a wide tip - 40 degrees tip, so no damage occurs. the most important thing is that the GALLONS per MINUTE is the most important aspect of a PW, not its PSI.there are other companies that offer chemicals, but the one i used awhile ago does not exist anymore..

This aspect should be weighted much more heavily than input from authors and opiners alike.

I have all the resources to renovate homes, I just do not know enough about the purchase and selling aspects.
